Steve 'N' Seagulls is an awesome Finnish band. They play rock and metal classics as bluegrass songs. They got their fame with few YouTube videos and now have more than 100 million views on all their videos. The most popular is AC/DCs Thunderstruck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ao-iNPPUc

1/128/2017 SAP Arena, San Jose

I got to shoot iHeart80s show at SAP Arena in San Jose. For most this was trip down memory lane as the lineup was made from, well, 80's starts. It was an interestign shoot. On the other hand I was shooting quick portraits on red carpet as the performers arrived and on the other I was shooting performances from the soundboard. I kept runnign in and out of the green room through out the night and must have run for miles while shooting. Interesting night for sure

1/18/2017 Slim's, San Francisco

I have very mixed feelings about Slim's. I love seeing shows there, they have very interesting bands come through but so often it's just too dark to get any decent photos from there. Entombed AD was no exception and most of the shots are just colorful mess. But what can you do excepr best you can and hope for better photography weather for the next time.

This was my first show at Social Hall, a smaller venue beneath Regency Ballroom. The room is very low as is the stage and there is no photo pit. The first row definitely get's an intimate show as the band is right up your face when peforming. This is definitely not a photographers dream venue because of the size. The stage was super dark and when the spots hit, they are so close that it's nearly impossible to get anything decent. I'd love to shoot Combichrist in another venue. The band is energetic and quite theatrical in their performance. The photos from this night definitely don't do them justice.

I had the honor of shooting Joe ROgans Netflix Special at The FIllmore in San Francisco. This was the first comedy show I shot and it was definitely different than shootingmusic as the performer is all by themselves on the stage, no gear, no spectacular lights. You can see somee of the shots on Netflix if you check out the program. It was very funny!

It was great to see Randy Blythe and the rest of the guys in Lamb of God after a longish hiatus following Randy's legal trouble with Czech authorities. The band was in form and Randy was his moshing, yelling self. I like shooting at the Fox because the lighting is always theatrical and bright enough to get good photos.

Amon Amarth

5/20/2017 The Warfield, San Francisco

After last night less than stellar light at Regency it was very welcome change to catch Amon Amarth at The Warfield. There is no such thing as too much light, but this one surprised me. Amon Amarth also gets a spot on my top 10 list for their music and performance.

Jamey Jasta, Hatebreed

The light technician at Regency Ballroom on the night was saving energy and the set was performed in a very dim red light. With current tools, you can pull somewhat usable photos from very challenging conditions, I wouldn't call this one a success. Not every night is an awesome night but you just have to keep learning
